react to a loong review

from watupcat review,answering (he also talk about omega no sunshine in a review for etesia 3)

1/ seems like old games from us are not available and that's a criteria for a bad review on this game, i am deeply sorry we had data corrupted and i lost a lot of my previous work like this unfortunately.there is nothing i can do about that and i also have no control other website that published/shown the game without our consent so yeah sorry guys

2/people would not give 1dollars for a project : well they do spend 265 dollars for a simple skin so why they can't ? you also say skins have no interest if the game is not popular, so ? if i want to add them this is a bad thing you'll be angry ? that's a nonsense that's ever cool to have more choice. and you are comparing my game with angry bird, that's not even close and for you, you absoltely have to try hard as crazy to unlock the next level,that's not how i see gaming, my game was made for everyone

3/ "spice up ons gameplay it seems just a clone of pac man" you probably never played pac man and that is,an another time, rude to compare two games that have nothing linked outside of their arcade side. in ons it is up to you to play relax or to rush everywhere with a timer on the side,you can speed run the game ! but yes i am deeply sorry i won't take you by the hand on that purpose (also pac man have not the budget we have riiight?)

"no feeling of achievement, levels too big, need more visuals on the screen" if you feel no achievement after finishing all the rpg levels, the 8hours of gameplay or the whole game,if you feel no acheivement into getting all the skins then i am deeply sorry guys, i probably miss on that part and hope to level up. you can't say level are too big you are litterally complaining that the game is having content... i am like, wtf ? for him the rings should be optional and not mandatory... but the ring are the heart behind the story and that's the point for exploring the game. more colors for rings in the same level is not a bad idea, but it would feel clown-like and i picked them considering the floor/background theme of each place to play, there is a reason behind, yet the game have more than 8 colors for rings i am deeply sorry if it is not enough. you talk about ennemies,but this game have cats,they are put specially at the position where it could be annoying for players, why monster ? that's not a rpg game,that's an arcade-collectathon-exploration game , i have made the choice of cats because it make sense if you were following us,they were the natural being to brought because my girfriend liked cats, and several friend are cat vtubers "cake who wake up when you are coming and that follow you" that's a good take, but i want to continue enjoying eating in my life :D

"hidden path should have visual to help" that's all the fuel of the game !!! i wanted that people make the effort to search and the achievement is there ,you litterally do the place you come back one week after you already forgot where it was. omega no sunshine (2019) had visuals on the hidden/tunnel path and that was great because it let people discover the title ! but as you said yourself you need achievement and that's why i took nobody by hand.

"that's not a game but a physical exercise" arcade-collectathon-exploration, yes there is exploration, that's not a rpg with hp bag, that's not a game with everything around only one map. that's not a lazy game around mapping and i am completely not sorry to try giving you things to do. that's an arcade game and people want gametime, in rpg game that's easy to add gametime, not in an arcade game, you may find cool there is a lot to do in this video game and i am sorry if you don't felt that way.

"no npc in the maze, or items to collect for your inventory" well that's an arcade game,the npc are in the outside main map.yet if you play the rpg dlc then you'll fin npc and items to collect in the maze so...i feel you have not played the game but i am sure i am misunderstanding. on the monsters in the rpg dlc they have a probability to drop items, also there items in some chest and you can also buy them through your inventory shop tool

"No sprinkle of Zelda + Metroid + Roniu's Tale" well that's not a triple A sold at 80dollars, the dev have not the budget

"there is no reward to run around the screen again and again" i understand totally your point of view but the reward is there you are rewarded by unlock new places that goes small and end well bigger and progressing until the end is,at least for me, a relaxing journey, if you don't walk in an exploration game then...what do you do ? talking to npc for hours ? i needed that action, at least to let my mind focused on what i do and not on some life aspect,so it do the job for me,that's no lie running in the colorful places are my daily sweets.  

4/ "some dev have small prices and on the side ost,side story, expansion pack" since the start the game is under 5 dollars, you don't want skins, but you want side story and expansion pack, i will let you remember the rpg dlc kurisutaru is in the game ! there is no need to add more buying options, all is included in the game itself, the haloween skins, the christmas update adding mapping, all is included in the game !  players ask dev respect,they are respected here.

5/ advising "small gb studio should do more short games" well that's your point of view, but personally and since 2007 i am a making a tiny video game,and finally i see this one having more and more content, even if by imagining there is still zero people playing,at least, me it make me happy to see my work growing as a flower.

side talk : our studio is not gb it is born in south korea, and currently mid time in switzerland,in switzerland we talk french that's why there is both the french and english language beside having a lot of french speaking friends thanks to doing streaming content.my twitch is french, my youtube is english.

6/ i will not comment he is doing reviews of other game in the review section for etesia III ....

7/quote"My lizard brain turned off from OnS after 1 minute" i advise you to play fortnite or should i say shotgunite to have played so much the lizard brain should be relieved (there is no offense guys,i am talking about patience and action)

8/ "maybe you should head to visual novels" if you are not patient to play all the levels in ons i don't think you'll also have the relax mood needed in a visual novel

9/ "entertainment that keeps my spirit alive; movies and poetry don't work."      you should give a try my friend movies are really cool specially if you are craving to learn a new language for example, and poetry i personally think it should be mandatory in school, maybe my hot take but i made a little and that helped me many times after

10/ "Hope you keep the love alive. But please do it smartly without becoming disillusioned. That's the worst outcome - to mentally die in agony from depression of failure. I would know."

i don't dev a video game if i do not love it, personally running and completing the different place is not "just running around" it is having a relax journey together with my friends through my live broadcast, and from the start at right the game evolved, we now have re-playable places, we will have places that could make you earn a mythic skin. a video game is not a frozen thing it constantly learning from all of you guys. i don't think i am disillusioned,that's a 60 downloads game, no visibility but yet a good game i personally enjoy. it is as it is and i don't expect the game to crush production with near a million dollars budget ah ah (you quoted pac man right) i am and i will not have depression over failure for this simple reason : if one person played it and loved it then it is a success   you can't depress from failure,it is a success :)

i hope i have well answered to you, i am still human sorry if i have different opinion or if an answer is not appreciated but yeah i wished to answer this guy because i thought his review of omega no sunshine (posted on etesia 3 game...) was interesting an allow some new people to understand the thought behind the game

____

needed to know : that's a tiny arcade-exploration-collectathon game and yes you have to explore.

my worries was,by its arcade path it may not have enough game times, which is around 1hours 52 minutes for the base game(story)

so my focus was : bring more content as additional places to explore

my feelings were : the game will not convince everyone but at least i should find it myself fun to play

my expectations : play and enjoy my own games with my friends

the worries were lifted, the focus was done, the feelings are there, the expectations are filled.

if you have any question or feedback feel free to share them as watupcat itch.io user made

it is ever interesting to discuss things around the game, i would like to answer you about my game

keep in mind that omega no sunshine is omega no sunshine, this is not fortnite,not a pac man,

not a whatever game. i never was inspired by something else than crystal'ss heart and omega no sunshine (2019)

two games from myself. enjoy your days, love y'all ♥
